Inventor: JENSEN LARS CARL
IPC: D04D5/00
Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 29,707. Jensen, L. C. Jan. 9, [Convention date]. Tufted fabrics are produced by securing in a frame 1 by fasteners 6 strands 2 of yarn which are interwoven as shown. All the crossings are then firmly bound by a fine strong thread or threads 4, a network of the threads 4 being formed under the strands 2 which are then cut midway between the crossings. The tufts 5 thus produced are trimmed, clipped, or otherwise treated, and the fabric is steamed, thus causing the tufts to assume a hemispherical form.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sound Recording and Reproducing Machines.
Inventor: STERNBERG WILLIAM DAVID
IPC: G11B3/095
Filed: 1913-01-13
Granted: 1914-02-13
Abstract: 979. Sternberg, W. D. Jan. 13. Raising, positioning, and lowering sound-box ; stopping.-In a talking- machine, the tone-arm is raised by a hand-operated member which imparts longitudinal movement to a rod having a one-way connexion with the tonearm so as to permit movement of the tone-arm relatively to the rod, and the rod is also connected to a swing- ing member whereby its continued movement effects angular movement of the lifted tone-arm. In the construction shown, the portion b of the tone-arm is pivoted to the portion c so as to be capable of vertical movement, while the part c is mounted in the fixed tube d so as to be capable of oscillating about its vertical axis. A rod b<1> is secured to the inside of the part b and passes at its lower end through a slot in a rod h adapted to be reciprocated by the hand-operated member e. When the member e is pressed inwards, the sound-box is first raised, after which the continued movement of the rod h causes the lever to engage a slightly resilient arm i secured to the elbow c and swing the tone-arm across the record to the point at which it is desired to recommence the reproduction. A projection m on the rod h simultaneously engages a lever m<1> connected to the braking and motorregulating devices. The correct position of the sound-box for starting on different sized records is determined by the adjustable stop o, which is engaged by a projection n on the vertical tube c when the tone-arm is moved to the starting position. The tone-arm is always free to be raised or positioned directly by the hand. The Provisional Specification also describes the following modifications :-(1) The pivoted portion of the tone-arm is raised and lowered by an arm passing through a guide in the top of the motor casing, this arm being sufficiently wide to engage the tone-arm in any of its positions, and, if desired, provided with a movable stop for determining the starting position. The vertical arm may be operated by a member e or be provided with a helical slot engaged by a pin fixed to a rod mounted within the arm and adapted to be rotated. (2) The finger on the inside of the tonearm is attached to and operated by a Bowden wire controlled from any convenient position. (3) For simultaneously operating the brake and stopping mechanism, the vertical arm described in modification (1) is pivotally connected to a bent lever which passes through a hoop forming a fulcrum for it and engages at its free end a rotary cam mounted on the same axis as the braking- device. By this means when the brake is applied the tone-arm is raised. (4) The tone-arm is controlled by an arm hinged at its ends to two rods which, in their lowest position, hold the arm horizontal, but when raised cause the arm to assume a slanting position, whereby it is both raised and returned to its starting position.

Abstract: 10,433. Hollick, S. R., and Thompson, S. May 3. Printing on cylinders and the like.-A machine for printing on cylindrical articles, such as cartridge cases, comprises an intermittently rotated face - plate on which a number of continuously driven spindles are mounted, and means are provided for feeding the cases on to the spindles, bringing the cases into contact with a positively driven printing-cylinder, and for discharging the printed cases. As shown, the cases are fed down a shoot M and are taken one at a time by pockets N‹ in a feedwheel N, which is rotated intermittently in phase with a face-plate A carrying six spindles B, B', B<2> ... B<5>, which are rotated continuously by the engagement of pinions b with a freely mounted pinion V geared to a main driving-shaft. When the wheel N and plate A are both stationary, a case is forced from the wheel N on to one of the spindles b by a reciprocating plunger O actuated by a pinion Q oscillated by cam-andcrank mechanism. The plate A is then rotated by a ratchet C and pawl D on an arm E oscillated from a crank disk G. and a band or belt K<1> embracing a groove in plate A acts as a brake to keep the plate A steady in its stationary position. In this position one of the cartridge cases is rotated in contact with a printing-roller J driven by suitable mechanism and formed with a gap to prevent engagement of the case with the actual printing-surface until the plate A is stationary. After the case has been printed, the plate A is again rotated to bring a fresh case into printing position and to carry the printed case towards the position Y, Fig. 1, in which position the case is discharged down a shoot to a rotating receptacle Z by means of a reciprocating slide 8 provided with grippers which are opened against the action of springs as the slide moves towards the plate A, the grippers then being closed so as to engage the end of a case by means of a wedge-shaped slide which is moved against the action of springs by means of a reciprocating plate 19. This plate is again moved to open the grippers after the case has been withdrawn from the spindle b.

Title: Improvements in the Process of Concentrating Dilute Nitric Acid.
IPC: C01B21/44
Filed: 1913-08-08
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 18,113. Salpetersõure Industrie Ges. Aug. 24, 1912, [Convention date]. Acids, concentrating and distilling.-In concentrating dilute nitric acid by distilling in the presence of sulphuric acid or other hygrosoopic agent with the aid of a counter-current of steam or a mixture of gas and steam, a portion of the concentrated acid obtained as distillate is returned to the mixture under treatment. By this means, a less concentrated sulphuric acid than that usually employed may be used as the desiccant. The nitric acid thus returned is preferably-the relatively weak acid obtained in the first of the series of condensers. The process is applicable to the recovery of the waste acids obtained in the manufacture of nitro-glycerine. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes the invention without limitation to the use of a counter-current of steam etc.; this limitation does appear in the Specification as accepted.
